We have had several requests for information on our Association recently, so I would like to take this opportunity to tell you something about us. The purpose of this Association is to locate, survey, investigate, register, identify, preserve, protect, and restore, historic, architectural, archaeological, and cultural sites, structures, and objects worthy of preservation, including human skeleton remains, graves, grave artifacts and grave markers, relating to the history of Pendleton County, WV, and the territory included therein from the earliest times to the present and future, and from any area that has or will have contributed to the history of the area, upon its own initiative or in cooperation with private or public society, organizations or agency. Membership is open to all ages, sex, creed, color, and cultures, whether a resident of Pendleton Co., or not. Annual dues is $2.00 per person. Please help preserve our history before it is to late. Every day a piece of history is lost or destroyed. Some of the activities we are participating in our: reenactment of burning of Ft. Seybert during Treasure Mountain Festival; Civil War reenactments; archaeological investigations of area forts; display at the new Seneca Rocks Discovery Center; presentations at the discovery/visitor center and Seneca Shadows Campground; identifying unmarked graves in county graveyards; gathering genealogical data for the county into one large database; assist in activities of other county organizations; and make everyone more aware of the county's history. Some of the other county organizations are: Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, 7th West Virginia Infantry Camp #7 Bob Williams, Commander Bill Vance, Camp Secretary P.O.
